Giorgio Mariani - Intervention on an old photograph of Milan

Talking about Giorgio Mariani is, at the same time,
extremely easy and terribly difficult. Easy for
the clear and crystalline man, profoundly honest
which emerges from the canvases, difficult to capture all the
shades of a painting that is both sweet and
incisive, schematic and rich, suffused with melancholy
often extremely joyful.
In Mariani's paintings you can feel the scents of a sea
ancient, which brings with it the smells of spices and perfume
of nostalgia.
Schematic figures look at this blue,
getting lost in sweet memories, the face is perceived, rough
and simple, the old alleys embrace them with
love; it's an ancient world, made to measure for man
where these can love, laugh, maybe be
melancholic, but never desperate.
This is Mariani's joyful painting, which is supported by
counterpoint, in a surreal and even metaphysical climate
the impact with the depersonalizing modernity of the city
looming over man, of figures no longer simple, but
twisted and crushed by inevitable compromises,
puppets driven by indiscriminate and utilitarian ends
And then the canvas becomes a splendid pretext for denunciation
social, it goes outside the box to become grotesque,
ironic panorama of how man destroys himself
and its simplest and most genuine values.
All this is underlined by a confident brush and
from a rich palette of soft, clean, precise tones
as the life philosophy of this painter does not
fit into fixed patterns, but a disciple of himself
ancient and very young always coherent precise
choices that cannot be compromised
